The fact that racists are looking for a vehicle ot attack on the refugee issue is only to be expected. 2. To deny that this is a serious issue - is to play into the hands of the racists. 3. There is no doubt that a misogynist viewpoint is expressed by various cultures. This is often exacerbated in cultures where religious fundamentalism is more the 'norm' than in the Western cultures many of us inhabit. But that simply does not excuse the dissonance of many in the West who were remarkably generous to immigrants. 4. This veil of ultra-leftism - 'defend the immigrants-refugees whatever they do' - is remarkably short sighted. 5. That the police actions could have been better (Williams) may or may not be true. I do not know the layout in Cologne railway Station. The same however also happened in Hamburg. The same - albeit in differing history-circumstances happened in the North of England. Closing Leftist eyes to such events, simply allows a massive reactionary reverberation.
